- Owen Taylor: What, you think God will strike you dead if you enjoy dancing? You're experiencing joy in His creation.
- Pastor Taylor: All right. Now, anyone who would like to approach Jem, offer your forgiveness, please approach.
- [Rebecca goes up to hug Jem]
- Female congregant: I forgive you, sweetheart.
- Male Congregant: I forgive you. May God forgive you.
- Owen Taylor: [without looking Jem in the eyes] I forgive you.
- Jem Starling: Do you think I'm wicked?
- Owen Taylor: No. You're the furthest thing from it. I'm sorry I got lost in it.
- Jem Starling: I did, too. Do you feel guilty?
- Owen Taylor: Uh... I mean, yeah. I don't know. A lot before. Less now.
- Jem Starling: Why?
- Owen Taylor: I don't know. I've been praying on it a lot, and I just--maybe I'm crazy, but it just--it don't feel like a sin. Swear as the sky covers me, it don't.
- Jem Starling: But you're--you're married.
- Owen Taylor: Yeah, and we can't stand each other. We can't. I mean, she's all, like, gossip and babies, and I'm--we ain't never felt connected, ever. We misread the signs. I know it. But with you, I just--you know, I see so much for you. And when I'm with you, I want so much for me, too. I ain't never felt that with anybody. How could God not want that?
- Jem Starling: I was praying about my dad. I think he's drinking again.
- Owen Taylor: Hmm, what makes you think that?
- Jem Starling: [chuckles] 'Cause I saw him.
- [Owen chuckles]
